Part of the Quick Reference Guides for Early Childhood Best Practices, this laminated, six-page primer gives early childhood educators practical guidance on enhancing and supporting childrens pretend play skills. Colorful graphics, lists, and tips instantly engage teachers and give them an at-a-glance understanding of:

  • why pretend play matters
  • how pretend play can promote childrens socio-emotional and cognitive development
  • how to nurture childrens skills as they role-play and interact with peers
  • when to be concerned about childrens pretend play, and what to do next

These developmentally appropriate practices are ready to use with children from birth to five across settings: in homes, classrooms, or professional learning environments.

Perfect for professional learning, these 16 Quick Reference Guides will put practical knowledge and ready-to-use strategies in the hands of every educator in your early childhood program. Developed by an early childhood expert with more than 40 years of experience in the field, these laminated, six-page primers cover specific topics with explicit links to core developmental domains: cognitive, physical, socio-emotional, communication, and adaptive. Teachers of children from birth to five will get tips they can trust on developmentally appropriate practices-not only within developmental domains, but in other key areas with a broad effect on a childs life (such as mealtime, friendships, and creativity).
